Firewalling

Shared Firewall Services

This service provides rudimentary filtering of traffic by port number. For example the firewall will reject all traffic to your server unless it is on a recognised port number, for example:
 

http 80
https 443
pop3 110
ssh 22		 terminal services 3389
ping 7
ftp 21
telnet 23


The user does not have control of settings. Our support team can make occasional changes to your configuration but this should not be a regular requirement. If you require more control or sophisticated firewall settings, consider our dedicated Cisco firewall options.

Shared firewalling is free with Dedicated Servers.
